Actually, it was only marginally better at the next place. I got a large penthouse office in the middle of the plant, which was great, but no desk, no computer, no phone. I had to scrounge all the stuff myself from wherever I could find it. I found an old desk out by the dumpster that had no drawers, so I made some from wood, and had the forklift operator crane it up there, used my own laptop and phone, and stole a chair from the cafeteria for my desk.
After a year, they gave me a computer they were throwing out, and after 2 years, I got a phone installed. (not there anymore either)
